Was disappointed in the price to food portion size at Monarch. Food was super tasty but went to a fast food place after because I was still hungry. $52 for 3 scallops and 1/2 cup of cooked rice is quite excessive, although they were super tasty. Dessert menu was non existent with only beignets and a pinacotta torte offered. Should have ordered more appetizers to fill me up but too pricey to stay. Seek alternative restaurants read more

We made a Saturday evening reservation at Monarch, which ended up being unnecessary as only three tables were occupied the entire time we were there. We were excited to give it a try but ultimately left disappointed. We started off with the charcuterie board appetizer. It was visually appealing but for the $24 price tag we all agreed it was alright but not something we would get again. Unfortunately our steaks also came out not at the temperatures we had requested. Sadly our service was another low point. This was surprising since the restaurant was fairly empty. Despite the majority of the gorgeous interior having empty tables, we were seated next to a dirty rag/silverware station rather than the beautiful empty booths while walking to the bathroom. Our server was hard to find and we had to repeatedly ask for simple things such as water refills. To top things off, there was zero music which felt quite awkward. For a bill that totaled over $350, we expected a much better dining experience. With the abundance of restaurants in the area, I would not recommend Monarch. read more

I came here for my friend's bday recently, the vibe was so cute and loved how everything was designed. We had the brussels sprouts which were so good, they had oranges & apple slices mixed in too. Got the steak frites, I asked for my steak medium and it was well done so I didn't really like it that much. Fries were yummy though. The service was slow, our drinks and meals took a minute to come out. But other than that, I give it 7/10. read more

Every aspect was perfection- from making the reservation through our incredible culinary experience. Upscale atmosphere. Great for any occasion but the best pre-show option for the orpheum for sure. Highly, highly recommended! I'll be back for sure! read more

Unfortunately, I am going to have to echo what many of the other reviews said. The atmosphere was super nice! Loved the decor. Our waitress was very nice too so the service was great. The food took forever to come out and it definitely was not my favorite. I ordered the penne vodka rosa and it was not good. It was very watery and salty. The house cut monarch fries were mid... I didn't mind the aioli but the fries tasted like they have been sitting out for awhile and just heated up. Also we made a reservation for my boyfriend's birthday and they didn't do anything special for it read more

To start with the positive - the atmosphere is very pretty and the service was attentive and adequate. The down side was the food quality and prices. For a $40 6oz steak & frites, I expect it to be high-ish quality and I feel that I could've gotten this quality of meal for a lower price elsewhere. The chicken Marsala honestly tasted like it had been microwaved and the mashed potatoes had very little flavor. read more

We visited Monarch with our Supper Club group, after a few of our friends had been there with the Yelp Elite Squad and enjoyed it. I found it had super high quality offerings, but was a little on the spendy side. The ambiance is super upscale, which is right on par with the Hotel Deco, which Monarch is a part of. There is a giant mural on the back wall that is breathtaking in size and its floral subjects. The meal started with the Herbal Butter Bread, which came gorgeously braided into a little pull-apart knot, and was served with some tasty butter that melted on the warm bits of the bread perfectly. A simple starter but done well, was extra impressive. Our group shared the yellowtail crudo which was very fresh and light. Perfect way to start the meal on a light note and save room for our entree dishes. We also had the French Onion Dip, which came almost "deconstructed" so you can scoop up each component as you took each bite and balance out which parts you liked best. Another in our group got the Potato Soup, and was so kind to give me a little taste. And that taste was silky smooth and heavenly in its creamy flavor! For my entree I ordered the Short Rib Meatloaf, which arrived as a spherical lump of excellently cooked short rib, atop a little layer of very herbaceous potato puree. A super elevated version of a classic meatloaf. My husband ordered the Sirloin, and it was served in a cast iron pan that kept it sizzling and warm. He ordered the broccolini on the side of his dish, and they came well seasoned and in their own little cast iron pot (so we could share easily, which was how I know they were excellent!) Our group shared a few desserts: -Donuts with Dulce de Leche Ice Cream: When you hear the word "donuts" this is definitely not what comes to mind. They were beautiful little balls of sweet dough, fried up, and then coated in sugar. Adding the Dulce de Leche ice cream just gave the perfect creaminess to counterbalance any dryness the donuts may have had from their sheer surface area. -S'mores: Just like the "donuts" above, this is an elevated version of an old classic, and "deconstructed" partially. It came artistically plated with two large squares of decadent chocolate ganache, above two swipes on the plate of marshmallow fluff, and topped with sprinkles of smoked graham cracker and little "spikes" of candied hazelnuts. Yum! I'd say if you are in the mood for a fancy night out, with elevated classics done super well (and you're ready to pay the price for all that too) then Monarch is a great option for you. read more

Here is a place that strives to make its patrons love it as much as they do. You like attentive service? Jack is the man for you. He goes the extra mile. Ambiance is elegant art deco with warmth. Quiet. Romantic. Outstanding green lipped mussels. Beef Wellington delicious, but over seasoned. Mushroom Risotto was good, but needs less cheese. Delicious flour-less chocolate torte. Will eat here again. read more

I went to this place for a birthday dinner and our waitress was instantly so sweet. She offered me a birthday treat and plenty of help on the menu. We ordered the charcuterie board which, as an appetizer, was enough for us to split among 4. We also got the brussel sprouts- I was a huge fan, and I got the pesto pasta with chicken added. The chicken was just a little dry but had great flavor and it was a filling dish! It was good portion size. They were also playing nice music which set the mood and the theme of the restaurant was what drew me in, in the first place! read more

The food is overpriced and the taste bland. The service was not the best since It took about 15-20 mins for someone to notice that we needed service. I am disappointed since everyone has been taking about this palace and how cool it. The inside of the restaurant is amazing, the decor and atmosphere is so beautiful. I would recommend to get a drink and and enjoy the atmosphere but I would not recommend the food. read more

Skip breakfast here at all costs. Service was extraordinarily lackluster. Greeted by the hostess with a "can I help you?" Sat for at least 30 minutes before they took our order and then waited for another 10 minutes before they brought our coffee after asking a second time. Took another 30 minutes to get our food. The menu is extremely limited and basic. Entrées were palatable, but absolutely nothing special. The biscuits and gravy with sausage links, although not warm enough, was pretty flavorful so there was a shred of potential showing through the rest of the disappointment. I've had some good dinners here and will try it again, but will never be back for breakfast. read more

We took our young boys here while in town and I'm so glad we chose The Monarch! What a gem of a restaurant!!! The decor is absolutely beautiful. Dark sultry walls with beautiful warm lit sconces and chandeliers. The array of live plants scattered about makes you feel like you are dining in an atrium set back in the 1920's. The wall murals completed the vibe. Seriously a very intimate space. We ordered Shirley temples and mock-tails to start and ordered the calamari and balsamic brussel sprouts for our appetizers and all were delicious. Our boys each ordered the steak and pommes frites and I ordered the Cowboy ribeye and my husband ordered the dry aged ribeye special with the garlic jalapeño compote. My husband and I enjoyed our steaks but we were both shocked at how amazing our boys sirloins were. Like..... ahhhhh is that even possible? As steak lovers, we've had them all but these sirloins were, chefs kiss!!!! I cannot recommend the sirloin enough. Don't sleep on this one!!! Our server was very attentive and personable and the chef came out to ask how everything was tasting. This to me shows he prides himself on his work and added to the evening. The details will ALWAYS make good impressions. It was fun to show our boys what mom and dad do on date nights and they were excited to be a part of it. We traveled to Omaha from Milwaukee WI area and I'm really happy we stumbled upon this absolute gem. Thank you for a wonderful evening for my family. read more

The restaurant decor is above average. However, the food was not above average. I had the mushroom risotto and it was bland. I also tried the fried Brussel sprouts. Again, not much flavor either. The service was below average. I had to go back to the kitchen area to find someone so we could get our bill. read more

These guys know how to show out for a nice night out on the town! Our server was great: super knowledgeable about the menu and friendly. The food was excellent (although these downtown prices kill me). I had the salmon which was a huge portion and cooked so it was juicy yet still crisp on the outside. I wish it came with more veggies on the side, as those felt like an afterthought instead of a compliment. Overall great date atmosphere where you can dress up and feel special for a night! read more

Monarch Restaurant - Salmon - Steakhouses Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Our waiter, the hostess, and the bartender were all phenomenal. The vibes and decor great. Charcuterie and drinks were good. However, our steaks were very over done and our sides cold. The waiter apologized and said he would rush two new steaks out. Someone with a man bun came back to deliver our steaks. One was cooked as we ordered but the other wasn't quite right. The man insisted that I didn't know what I ordered and didn't know what a good steak was. He then raised his voice so that everyone in the area was staring at us. I attempted to reconcile and agree to eat the steak that I still didn't really want. However, the man continued to berate me. Would not recommend to anyone. read more

Went there for breakfast since there are not a lot of breakfast places that opens at 7 am so i will give you that. The restaurant was really busy and I had to wait for a while to get my order, and waited 35 mins to get the food, while the table in front of me already paid their check when i finally got my food. The food I order was mediocre at best. read more

Went here for a bachelorette party and ordered several apps as a group. We loved every single app my favorites being the calamari and beet salad! I ordered the lemon rosemary martini as well and it was refreshing and delicious. I ordered the sirloin for my entree and it was just okay. It was beautiful displayed and a large portion but not the best steak I've ever had especially for the rice. Our server, Steven, was outstanding and did an incredible job taking care of our large group. We had a great time and I would definitely go back for drinks and apps and perhaps a different entree. read more

Came in for dinner and was so happy with the food, wine and service. Jack, our waiter recommended the Pesto Tortellini which was absolutely amazing!!! Never had pesto this lovely and nuanced.

I love this place and wish for others to come and enjoy! read more

Hours on hotel key card and website said the lobby bar opens at 4, but the bartender insisted it was 5 and was quite rude about to myself and the other group that was interested in being there ("I am the bartender, and it IS 5!"). Would love to know what it's like, but may never know. Disappointing customer service. read more

The restaurant is open again after hotel remodeling. Gluten-free / gluten-sensitive friendliness: 10*/10. Lots of gluten sensitive options, but no indication on the menu for GF dishes (odd considering it seems nearly everything but the sandwiches is GF). Normally would rate 8/10 but Omaha has very few restaurants with as gluten-friendly a menu as this one, so extra points added. We ate a late dinner after getting into town and checking into the newly remodeled Hotel Deco. Our server Justin was fabulous as was the bartender who were both doing wonderfully despite being the only two working. The wine list was absolutely amazing and Justin gave us a lot of info about wine and wineries and told us where in town to buy some bottles (La Buvette). We had the steak frites and cast iron chicken breast. The food was excellent quality and really reasonably priced, but my steak frites was not necessary anything I haven't had before - and done better. I would've liked more pepper in the steak and sauce, maybe green peppercorns, and just some type of twist to the fries? A unique herb, maybe tarragon, or a dusting of some kind? The menu says there's rosemary but that famously forward flavor did not come through at all. My husband's chicken was much more complex, with a unique bone-on cut for the breast, herbs, and a very savory umami from the mushrooms. Overall, it was a memorable meal in a very gorgeous, romantic and intimate surrounding with excellent service and food. I will absolutely eat here again and look forward to trying other dishes! There is also a flourless chocolate cake for dessert I did not order out of consideration for closing time for the staff, but I would have enjoyed finishing with that and coffee. It's entirely possible that rounding out the evening with that may have earned the extra star. read more

Went with a friend and we got the 45oz American Wagyu Tomahawk Chop (at the time it was $150 which does not include any sides). I called ahead to see if we could reserve it since the menu says "limited availability", but that wasn't an option. As it turns out, someone ordered it before once (so it seems that they normally only make 1/day?) but they said they would make another one for us which was appreciated as it was the main reason we wanted to come here. Others seem to say that they split this among 3-4 people, and maybe me and my friend have bigger appetites than most, but we shared this, 2 sides and a bread basket and didn't think it was that much food (we didn't leave hungry but we could have eaten more). Yes its 45oz, but a chunk of it I assume is bone, so unsure how much "meat" there actually is after it is cooked down and cut. I thought the steak was good but it wasn't the "melt in your mouth flavor" that I would expect from a steak of this price and quality. I was in between giving the place "3 stars" and would give it 3.5 if that was an option, but because of the great service (I drink a lot of water and it was filled nonstop) and also the Potato Purree (see below), I bumped it to a 4. For sides we got the Mushrooms and the Potato Purree, the later of which was really good - I normally doesn't get potato purree but it was honestly very good and one of the better purree's I've had. read more

First of all, let me tell you, after having to search for one of the best hidden gems in town, we were hoping this would've been the one. the steaks from the pictures looked good, we made reservations, it was quiet initially and empty, but that didn't deter us. we ordered a drink and appetizer to start, two steaks both medium rare. pomme puree, was told the vegetable will be broccolini. fantastic. Waited well over 45 minutes for the entrees. both came out cold, overcooked, and with asparagus instead. no biggie. we can send it back. another twenty minutes later we get sent our new entrees, mine was great. warm, cooked correctly, no issue. the fiancés on the other hand was once again overcooked. we raised it up again with our server. someone took it. and even came back to ask us to cut it and see if it was for sure overcooked. still medium/medium well. just as overcooked as the first one. This server, manager, whoever it was, had the complete audacity to question her what even a good or perfect steak was. Excuse me? raised his voice, yelled and argued with us infront of all of the patrons in the restaurant. Had the nerve to also say how he wasn't yelling and being combative, sassy, and completely disrespectful to us. at this point we were done. we wanted the check for the food we ate, so we can leave. instead, he flailed his arms, yelled he didn't know what he wanted us to do, caused an entire scene, yelled at us that don't worry, it's on the house, and to not worry about it. he refused to acknowledge that he was yelling at us and had every customer looking at our table. we asked for the check again. still had hostility towards us. never had we had a server or general manager go off on the deep end. Horrible experience, i read that they are now under different management some months back. not sure where the disconnect is, but management is going the wrong way. read more

Dining at Monarch Prime may stretch you. I'm not speaking of your waistline, any restaurant can stretch that. MP stretches your menu choices. They present you with an innovative, diverse, creative menu, and then encourage you, through their servers expertise,knowledge, and detailed descriptions, to "stretch" your dining choices into tastes you may have never experienced. The results are delightful and delicious! Our group split a 45oz American Wagyu Tomahawk Chop Ribeye topped with shaved truffles. and I added a Wedge Salad, Bison Strip Loin, and an extremely creative, delicious Grapefruit Cheesecake dessert. It was a great experience and it stretched my palate and my mind. read more

Gone down hill big time. Usually go to the Boiler Room, Chophouse Committee, J Gilberts for special occasions but none had open reservations. Last resort was Monarch and shocking they had reservations. Now I know why. Horrible service with 5-6 waiters and maybe 5 tables seated. Took forever. Even the salads were bad with dry, overseasoned chicken on them. Over cooked Ribeye with so much grizzle and fat throughout that ever bite you had to chew and discretely spit out. And I put special occasion Bday in the reservations with her name and not a mention of either. Too many places in town to spend your money here. Never again read more

The best meal we've had in quite some time. Every course was amazing, unique flavor combinations, beautifully plated. I swear Our table sounded like an Iron Chef panel as we oohed and aahed over every plate. We were a bit early for our reservation so started with the bar. I went with the classic Old Fashioned and my husband ordered the rum punch. The bartender was fabulous, personable, helpful and put on a bit of a show making the drinks. The the drinks were spot on. I learned afterwards they are associated with the owners of Wicked Rabbit so it makes sense they'd have the same level of detail and quality to craft cocktails. In the dining room we started with the potato and trout appetizer and the blue cheese kale. Blue cheese kale sounds disgusting but we gave it a try at the waiter's recommendation and were not disappointed. It was amazing and I hate blue cheese so that is saying something. The potato trout was also yummy with a hint of heat. They came with a plate of thin sliced wheat baguettes that were crispy and a great vessel to scoop up the yummyiness. The bread course is not complimentary but so worth the up charge. House made butter and the flavors rotate. Tonight it was chocolate sea salt. The bread came fresh out of the oven. It took longer to tear it into pieces then it did for us to eat it, it melted in our mouthes. One of our group tried the soup of the day - some sort of mushroom. It was served with a little puddle of creamy mashed potatoes in the middle with itty bitty potato chips sticking out of it. I was a bad yelper and didn't take photos. I really should have because every plate was beautifully prepared and this soup was a perfect example of that. But beautiful plates don't matter if the flavor isn't there and it certainly is at Monarch. Our mains were the Strip, the vegetarian pasta, the pork, and the short rib meatloaf. They were all excellent. The only thing that was slightly off was the pasta. It was supposed to come with nasturtium flowers but instead had pomegranate seeds. The dish suffered from the switch from a tangy peppery ingredient to the sweet crunchy seeds. We closed the meal with one of everything on the dessert menu. Tonight that was a s'mores inspired item, donuts, and lemon goat cheese cheesecake. All were delicious but the donuts - and the cinnamon ice cream- were our favorite. We closed the meal with the chefs cookie table at the center of the roof - Christmas cookies of shortbread and gingerbread macaroons. This will be our new go-to whenever we go the Orpheum. It's been a long time when every step of the meal was so perfect. read more
